Indian Bollywood mocks Tamil struggle in "Madras Cafe". Chola Revival!

[HeinzG]

lets say India declares a war on your puny island country today.you think anyone will give a sh*t about S.L. as India has far too much importance in the international political arena than lankans.but the direct consequence would be the end of S.L. as a nation.just imagine a massive strike by around a 100 jaguars escorted by dozens of Su-30MKI.won't it be a beautiful sight for the lankans

India can beat us at a war but they won't do to it because India do not have balls do it. You know that I know that the whole world know that.

Cause Northerners have no union with the whole country, there is no indian nation, just Northerner who only feel good to look down upon Southerners

You have so far explained why Indians get mad with you when you open your mouth. I think I agree with you and lets just stop this intellectually stimulating discussion here.

I support artistic freedom. A film is a film, and a story is a story. If the film-makers claim, its based on a original story, then it can be clarified, checked, protested, if wrong.
But if its a fiction, yes, release it. Enjoy it. I really doubt, that the film is going to change opinions of this struggle anywhere people going to see it.
I support "Madras Cafe" and I am going to watch it as soon as possible.

And I support the rights of Lankan Tamils in SL, and people accountable for their massacres

Aren't you the same people who try so desperately to show the world you are European?

Sir is Sir Lanka not the same Lanka that the demon Ravan ruled over?

Oh I see the confusion. I was not implying some races are original and some are not, infact I made clear I did not want to get into the race debate.

You said ''hala is your original race'' and that ''Sinhala race is native only to SL''. I was referring to that.

of course yes. "Hela" is the race which found in Lanka, now they consider as "Sinhala" which is only native to Lanka.

what I felt was, you are trying to tell. Sinhala is not a race native to Lanka they are from some where from the subcontinent. Human started from Africa, at some point we may live in Africa, then somewhere else then in to subcontinent and in the island. But the "Hela" race started in the island, later they called as "Sinhala".

example. Race X1 has genetics ABC , Race X2 has genetics BCD, Race X3 has genetics CDE, Race Sinhala has genetics BDE. so Sinhala may have close relationship with above, but they are not X1 or X2 or X3. They are another product by the nature.

Tamil Rulers of the Kandyan Kingdom

The Kandyan kingdom was the only kingdom in Sri Lanka which was never conquered by any western power. It was ruled by a line of Tamil Kings, who came from South India, for nearly eight decades.

As King Narendrasinghe, the last Sinhalese king of Kandy, died without an heir to the throne, his wife, who was a Tamil from South India, invoked a custom that was practised in South India which grants the Queen s family the right to claim the throne in the event of there being no legitimate claimant from the King s side.This unprecedented move by the Queen paved the way for an unbroken line of Tamil Kings ruling Kandy, and laid the foundation for the Tamil customs and cultures to take firm root in Kandyan society. This influence is evident in every social activity of the Kandyans to this day. Tamil power in the Kandyan royal court was such one of the Queen s brothers was brought from South India and enthroned as King of Kandy.

There were many Sinhalese kings in the past who were married into South Indian royal families in order to extend their influence, and to protect their territory against aggression.

Tamils held high positions in the Kandyan Kingdom. The language of the court was Tamil. Hence, even the high ranking Sinhalese officials in Kandy were fluent in Tamil. The Hindu religion was given an important place along with Buddhism and none of the Tamil kings ever failed to promote and maintain Buddhism as a major religion in Kandy. The presence of Hindu temples and the procession of the Hindu deities during festive seasons were the result of Tamil influence.

The Queen s brother ruled Kandy as Sri Vijaya Rajasinghe from 1739 to 1747. When he died without any offspring, his brother-in-law, Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe(1747 1782), inherited the kingdom. Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe was succeeded by his brother Rajadhi Rajasinghe (1782-1798). The last Tamil king of Kandy was an 18 year old youth by the name of Kannusamy: a relative of the royal family but not a natural heir to the throne. He was, in fact, installed on the throne by a Sinhalese chieftain called Pilimatallawe, in spite of other claimants one of whom was the Queen s brother, the rightful candidate by the name of Muthusamy, who was also a favourite of the British.


The sword used by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe when captured by the British(Pic By Saman Sri Wedage, Daily News, 2002)


The last king took the name of Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe and ruled from 1798 to 1815. This period was full of turmoil and uprisings and saw the end of the Kandyan kingdom. Sinhalese chieftains of Kandy, disgruntled with the king and his rule, instigated the people to rebel against the king. Furthermore, they sought help from the British to overthrow the king. They were prepared to accept a foreign power to rule over their kingdom at the cost of their independence.

Glad you have agreed mistakes in the past!

nah. Sri Lanka will become "Sri Lanka", that's the most Sri Lankans wish. We don't want to become or copy another country!

South Asia's most coolest countries are Maldives and Sri Lanka. lol

Yeah terrorism was a mistake for sure, You did not understand what I meant.... I mean let SriLanka be a prosperous country... like Singapore... Both are located in similar location.. So is the comparision.... you will have similar opportunities.

Too much blood spilled!

 

[meral]

Aren't you the same people who try so desperately to show the world you are European?



Sir is Sir Lanka not the same Lanka that the demon Ravan ruled over?

We show the world we are europeans? ahahaha euro is a fake concept, we are proud children of eurosian steppes,the ones who built Tac Mahal

I saw a stinky rat wandering on toilet pipes

A movie is a movie, that too a bollywood movie .

If really Tamils want Chola empire I am happy they should conquer the below territories and assimilate them in India Union.

For the purpose of stating the obvious, I will say the following:

The above map does not claim to show that the Chola empire is part of the Indian union.

Your whimsical fantasies, however, do.

Reality is the map shown above in the original post and it is circulated by the Periyar-inspired Tamil independence movements, not me.

 

[gotti]

The idea that any movie that has John Abraham in it is more than worth a piece of tissue paper is a joke.



Naa....I think we'll be too busy with Balochistan to pay any attention to Tamil empire....

You will definitely be busy because it is not easy to deal with the anti-Indian sentiments in Balochistan.

Indian flag being burned there.

Balochs Burning Indian/BLA Flags and exposing Media Brave baloch brothers - YouTube

Just read the disclaimer before movie starts..." Everything about this movie is fictions... with no relation to true events"

That should help your pain.

Its a movie for god sake... why politicize....just shows intellectual maturity of some people.

A news article is a reflection of an event that in itself is a reflection of the sentiments of people - in this case, these events are based on Indian Tamils protesting the depiction of their sister movement in Sri Lanka as a facade based on nothing but ambiguous historic records - no one can possibly accept this as mere art with no ulterior motives.

However, everyone agrees that there can be no Tamil Eelam without the independent state of Tamil Nadu as envisioned by the great leader Periyar.

 

[gotti]

Oops, my 'country' Perimbadapu swarupam aka Kochin kindom added in this map....I protest.!!

Protest to the millions of Tamils asking for freedom and who are circulating these maps. Recording the protest with me doesn't do anyone, any good.

every country has rights to defend its national interest. do you know why tamil created a resistance movement in sri lanka? you better learn the history of tamil resistance in sri lanka.

Do you subscribe to the same view with regard to Periyar and his followers?

Your response will be interesting because in one case, you will state that the movement is legitimate but in the other, it will be the worst concocted lie of the 20th century.

Hypocrisy, at its finest.

 

[gotti]

tamils are sympathetic towards LTTE politicians use that for their gains, just like muslims boys brainwashed for doing jihad and use them for some other countie's interest. you know, politicians in tamil nadu are making problems on this for their own benifits not civilians.

Tamil politicians have a legitimate philosophical movement that stems from the historical racism that the northerners had bestowed upon the ones in the South - you may refer to the Ramayana then - or the Fair & "X" adverts now.

Reality is that the movement in Sri Lanka was a criminal movement created by Indira Gandhi to protect India's southern border but to also misdirect the hate the Tamils had for the Indian establishment toward their Aryan cousins in the South.

This has now faltered and Periyar's dream of an independent Tamil homeland, like Jinnah's dream for the Muslims in Bengal and Northwest, will come true through a political struggle like that of the Muslim league.

Will ADMK or DMK be the new Muslim league that carves out India? You don't need to have a degree in rocket science to answer this one.

We know a lot of tamilians who choose country over ethinicity. The only reason could be venoms emanting from some idiotic groups who play on peoples' sentiments to have the political edge (there is no congress/bjp in TN).

Else I believe this would have died out long back.

TN has no commonality with the Indian mainland as you have rightly pointed out.

The sentiments could not have "died long back" as you claim because long back is when they burned the Indian constitution under Periyar's supervision, in 1947.

 

[gotti]

Not like that. A sikh will always be sympathetic to sikh terrorist, a tamil to tamil terrorist and a kashmiri to kashmir terrorist. Ethnic/religious/regional loyalty will always remain. By sympathetic does not necessarily mean they support, but they tend to be more understanding than rest of us who shout .. kill all these terrorist vermins.

Its not unique to India, if you follow pakistani posters you will see same pattern.

If Periyar, a legitimate political leader was a terrorist, despite his sage-like lifestyle, then I am sure you will agree with the Tamilians considering Gandhi and Nehru as terrorists as well (who usurped their land and forced them to be a part of the so-called "Indian federation")?

I believe Baluchistan , waziristan , Karachi guys are also having the same right... .. .What Chicha ...I m correct na...??

Please refer to the post where Indian flag was burned in Baluchistan.

Waziristan when Nehru was stoned and not allowed to enter despite the comical support of Bacha Khan.

Lastly, Karachi is apparently the place where you say Dawood is hiding?

when did I say periyar was terrorist.. ?
